Band Bio
Compromising of four, yes four vocalists, Playback are one experienced and professional act. From winter seasons in the Alps to weddings and parties all over the UK, Europe and the USA they have delivered an infectious party atmosphere to every venue they’ve graced. Playback are a party band for hire that you don't want to overlook!
Performing since 2006, Playback have developed a unique blend of dynamic instrumentation and pitch-perfect harmonies to cover all the classics from all-out Rock ‘n’ Pop to breezy vintage tunes. They've had the pleasure of entertaining at the Henley Regatta, Blenheim Palace, Newbury Horse Races, Claridges Hotel, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Northamptonshire Cricket Club, Badminton Horse Trials and the Kop Hill Climb Classic Car Festival so no wedding, party or corporate function is too big or too small for this flexible 4 piece party band. Where there is a crowd to entertain, Playback are ready to rock!
It's pretty rare to have 4 singers in one party band let alone 4 singers in a 4 piece band so if you're a fan of harmonies and vocal masterclasses Playback are the party band to hire. They perform only to entertain leaving you and your guests fully satisfied after a hectic night making shapes all over the dancefloor. Running an incredibly varied setlist means no one will be able to resist their musical charms.
As with all acts at Seventh Second, Playback are fully self-contained bringing professional gear, PA and lights to all their shows.
Booking options include intimate acoustic sets, DJ sets, extra live sets and extra musicians which is no surprise when you know you are booking one of our most experienced live party bands.
Chat to us right now to see if they are free to turn your event into something special.
Please note: Due to availability or illness, deputy musicians of very a high professional standard may sometimes be used. Prices shown are based on the standard 4 piece line up.

More October 2023"Playback were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the whole weekend. We had a much larger crowd than usual in the afternoon so you won a lot of people over whilst you were playing! Your song choices were absolutely spot on, great harmonies too. I also want to add what a very friendly, professional approach the band has. Highly recommended so hire the band now! "

More September 2023"Playback were absolutely phenomenal for the 3 sets they played at our wedding. They were so upbeat and got everyone dancing and having the most amazing time. They are also the nicest guys and took time to make sure that they were playing songs from their repertoire that they knew we loved. To cap it all they also agreed to play our first dance even though it was outside their repertoire and needed to learn it – all for no extra charge. They gave us the best party and we can’t fault them at all! "

More September 2022"The communication with Playback before the wedding was great. We were able to pick songs we wanted and they were able to play our first dance. Playback were one of the highlights of the whole wedding. The dance floor was full all night and they played songs suitable for all our guests. I had lots of messages from guests to say how much they enjoyed them. One of my favourite memories of the wedding was when they played champagne supernova and asked guests to make a circle round us.

More June 2022"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you and Playback for such an awesome musical show last Saturday – I think it is fair to say that you went down a storm and judged the mood perfectly! Everyone I have spoken too have commented on you guys so that should be enough to confirm your status amongst our friends as a great band – the poor dancing and dodgy moves should have shown that on the night anyway! The best band to hire for sure! "

More October 2018"I’ve seen Playback a couple of times before at another wedding and a party, I really enjoyed seeing them so booked them for our wedding. They were very accommodating and easy going on everything we asked for. All of our guests have commented on how good the band were and everyone was up dancing and singing along. I would 100% recommend playback as a wedding band – they’re a great bunch of guys and a fantastic band! "

More October 2018"The band were excellent, so much better than they sounded in their MP3’s. They kept the dance floor filled all night, so many of our guests are still commenting on how fantastic the wedding band was. We wouldn’t think twice about recommending them or having them again. In fact our videographer, whose seen quite a few live wedding bands asked fur their contact details for his own wedding! They made our evening! Thanks guys! "

More September 2018"The band was fantastic and made the evening! They arrived on time, were set up before the scheduled time so not to interfere with dinner and speeches. They were approachable and flexible, the speeches took a bit longer so they adjusted their set to fit in with the rest of the program. In between sets, they were very accommodating to the Dutch with foreign requests. The dance floor was never empty and the music was fantastic sound and quality! "
